Ordered that within 20 days after service upon him of a copy of this decision and order with notice of entry, the appellant's counsel, the Corporation Counsel of the City of New York, is directed to pay the sum of $250 to the Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection of the State of New York; and it is further,
Ordered that within 20 days after service upon them of a copy of this decision and order with notice of entry, the respondent's counsel, Hoberman, Sussman Herman, P.C., are directed to pay the sum of $250 to the Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection of the State of New York.
During the pendency of this appeal, the order appealed from had been vacated by an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (G. Aronin, J.), dated October 26, 1994, upon a motion for reargument made by the appellant New York City Human Resources Administration.
